Bio
Gabriel B Reichhold is a music producer, mixing engineer, and DJ based in Montreal. He creates and engineers music for albums and films, always aiming for works that feel alive, elegant, and full of character. Growing up surrounded by music, he played piano, drums, and sang in a choir before discovering electronic music in high school through record collecting and DJing. This connection to sound, movement, and audience continues to drive his work today. Through projects like Gabriel Rei, Game Plan, Secret Witness, En Stéréo, and Rubis Daniel, he explores house, techno, downtempo, French pop, and cinematic sounds. Each project has its own voice, yet all share a meticulous attention to texture, groove, and musical coherence. Gabriel also collaborates with artists, agencies, and audiovisual productions, bringing a creative, attentive approach that nurtures artistic vision from idea to final mix. His music has been heard in clubs, festivals, on radio, and in visual works, often in collaboration with music producer and DJ Gene Tellem.

En Stéréo – Clair-obscur (EP) – 2024 – Journal Le Devoir, 2024
« En Stéréo, trio formé de trois jeunes musiciens ayant chacun leur démarche solo — Gab Godon (ex-Heartstreets, à la tête du projet dance-pop Laroie), les compositeurs électroniques et DJ Gabriel Reichhold (Gabriel Rei) et Jeanne Gariépy (Gene Tellem) —, offre un premier EP de chansons indie pop, en français et aux grooves imparables. On ne s’attendait à rien de moins de sa part. [...] l’ambiance tamisée de leur univers musical qui ne se compare à personne d’autre sur la scène musicale actuelle. »

"Flawless Deep House goodness"
Gabriel Rei – City Of Dreams – 2021 – Piccadilly Records, UK
"Sumptuous late nite textures. Produced with a keen attention to detail and a firm grip of his technologies, all three tracks exude a dreamy expansiveness. Rei’s patches and synthesis are mind bogglingly good; recalling the recently passed D.Ball and his Ourtime output alongside other higher ring operatives. This is pretty special folks."
